Someone recently stole $10,000 worth of equipment from Southwest Philadelphia's Wolves Youth Athletic Association.
The theft threatened to derail the team's season, but the Philadelphia Eagles and a city councilman have stepped in to help.
Wide receiver Nelson Agohlor and the team's cheerleaders walked into a pep rally for the team at the Nova Care Complex on Tuesday.

The money will go toward their replacement fund.
If you would like to help, the organization is currently accepting donations to offset the loss.
